I Love Being In the Woods

Woods appeal to my rustic sensibilities.
 
They almost have an ethereal and mystical quality for me that I find really enchanting. When the sunlight trickles down through the foliage and casts warm tones and hues in the forest and I...

I miss living in the middle of the woods away from everyone & everything. The rain sounds & smells better. I can think clearer & make slower, more thoughtful decisions. I can feel when the weather is about to change. I used to be able...

Its sunrise, the 20 or so of us are walking in a line on the side of a back road to get to the woods. To get to the lake. In tradition, we go at sunrise, and one by one we talk about what we want to do when we get our lives together...

I know all that are a part of this group can relate, but to those of you who aren't, I'll try to explain it. When you enter the woods, or forest you can almost feel this large invisible curtain fall behind you. The sense of solitude...

There's something about the woods... I'm no crazy, tree-hugging, wood-singing exremist, but I can feel the strength of the trees when they're all together in the woods or forest.
Mostly there is that wonderful, peaceful calm of being...

My dog and I like to go to a park about ten minutes from my house. It has a lot of trails. We both love it so much. I love the one path of the main trail there. It's so calming and peaceful. Nature is so beautiful.
When I was little, I...

Since January i have been studying abroad in Florence, Italy. it's a decent sized city with lively people and great artworks to see. however it's started feeling like a stone prison, devoid of any nature. there's i think one park that's...

Last week would have been our annual Bluebell walk. Our chosen location is a private wood that opens to the public for a small fee (all proceeds go to charity).
The bluebells in these particular woods are so lush and plentiful, it feels...

We all have an environment in which we feel most comfortable. Some people love the beach, others the mountains, and still others like open fields and rolling hills.
 
I have always adored the woods. I like the trees, the woodland...

I like forests. I like the quiet. I like the desolation. You are alone and surrounded by nature - its beautiful. You are humbled by the beauty and power of nature. I believe that is how life was supposed to be. But we have strayed too...

I'm in the woods all the time when I'm in person form or when I shift I love to feel the crackle of dry leaves under my paws I love the fresh smell of the clean air and in the morning when it's crisp or after a rain shower and u get...

YES,i often go there
to my tree
there is born this tomorow:

Very beautiful nature, very promising,
I'm dumb and empty like a shadow.

Waiting Unfortunately, passing,
perhaps befits a little cry.

I look in the clouds going past,
and...

There is nothing like being in the woods, surrounded by nature, cradled in it's embrace.

If you listen carefully you can hear the rhythm of life as it softly speaks to you, letting you know that you are part of something greater than...

Lately my friends and I have been talking about the best things of summer. All this talk has me feverish for camping in the woods. When I was a kid, and the parents were in a good mood, we would spontaneously(I say spontaneously because...

There's something about it. The fresh air, the sound birds singing their song and the crunch of twigs as your walking along being completely mindful of your surroundings.

Finding the perfect spot to just sit down, a minor hill along...

I miss my woods, I used to spend everday in my woods but since I went to dorm for college in a city a hour away I can't go to my woods. I miss hunting and fishing and shooting my bow at squirrels. I miss my woods :(

I live in the middle of the woods on a game preserve.
I feed the squirrels, chipmunks, racoons and deer from my deck.
I love sitting outside at night, and hearing the frogs jumping into my pond, as they hunt and the fish as they...

I love the woods.

The other day I was asking my friend if he'd ever walked in the woods at night and he replied, 'heck no, that's way too creepy!'. I just laughed.

Now our woods aren't the ones you hear good stories about, I mean it...

Animals and plants are precious they have gotten human through life our population would not grow if there lives weren't taken..we would not be here, you know like animals...plants also are a living organism as they grow, move, eat...

Deep in the woods, miles from nowhere, not a sound of a train, car, person, or anything civilized is the most awesome thing to experience. The sounds the forests make from the insects, wildlife, creeks, rivers, falling branches, the...
